He had zero strikeouts and he was facing a young, aggressive batting order. Baseball Prospectus had a really interesting line on him, saying that 25% of his outs last year were lineouts. He's a league average pitcher and I'd bet some money he doesn't perform well this year at all.

League average?! That does suck, considering most staffs have 5 guys better then league average.

I would take 5 Garlands over what we have now.

I wouldn't go that far, but I would take three or four Garlands. I think five Garlands get you pretty damn close to a playoff spot.

In all seriousness, if Thome went down with a season-ending injury, would Kenny pick up Bonds?

 

Depends on what is needed at the time. If the team is in contention (ok I'm laughing too) then I'm not certain Bonds is the best option, but worth considering.

 

If the team is out of contention, a sideshow to sell tickets could be just what the ball park needs, and I could see a call to Bonds.

Bring in Ricky Henderson to leadoff and Canseco to DH instead. Now that would be a show.

Pull together an all-steroid team and sell two million tickets before they all are suspended.

IIRC, didn't Garland always struggle against Texas?

05-17-2005 *vs Rangers W 7.0 IP 5 H 2 ER 4 K

05-29-2005 at Rangers L 6.0 IP 9 H 7 ER 3 K

I'd say overall, that since 2005, he's 5 QSs out of 8 starts.

His 5.5 career ERA and WHIP dabbling somewhere around 1.5 might agree with you... he was complete trash against them in '04 and '05, his ERAs were like in the 7s and 8s

In '06 he was good, in '07 he was ok.
